Lools like cash may get the Amiberry emulator over to android. Theres a poll on the Amiberry facebook page.

The dev is struggling with the complications of building cross platform and a software upgrade will help the effort.

Im in anyone else???

No! Purely based on how they've been misleading on Android development to date. 

I have no issue paying devs for their time, providing they actively support and do develop the software. 

If (and it's a big IF) Amiberry is ported to Android and it is a noticeable improvement over Uae4arm, I'll use it. In fact I would even pay for it. 

Android users have access to the Google reward scheme. Answering surveys give us credit to spend on the play store. It's a great way for us to support devs, without us spending our own money.

I should do some of that. Always gloss over these money saving ideas.

 I dont really think Midwan done much wrong. He did say he would have something in 6mths but seemed he didnt fully understand the challenges. Now he does he is bringing a solution forward. I would rather help push it forward however I can...uae4arm is seeing very minor developments and amiberry seems very actively developed.

Not gonna wait around though, uae4arm is the focus until something better comes along

No! He said he'd compiled the emulator in android studio which was a lie. He finally admitted it was the "Hello world" simple program instead. In essence they're learning how to develop on Android.

I remember this all too well because I wasted time trying to compile it because of what they said, when it was never going to work! 

It's in their own interest to Port it to Android. There are faaaar more android users than Raspberry Pi owners. Providing they don't price it stupidly people will pay for it. Doesn't take long to save up a couple of quid with Google rewards. The Amiga kickstarts are £1.79 iirc

I wish them luck with it BUT I'll believe it when I see it. They only have themselves to blame for that
